Men Playing With Dolls

Wednesday August 20, 2003
Well, at least the Philadelphia Inquirer got it right! Don't miss their article Dolls in 1/6 scale; Owners are Oversize which talks about male collectors of action figures, which the Philadelphia Inquirer rightfly calls dolls (sorry, Bobbi, our action figure Guide...). This article, which takes a look at the upcoming "Guys and Dolls Action Figure Expo" has some interesting facts--for instance, did you know that Some female figures have "swappable chest plates," in case a change in breast size is needed?"

I dont understand why men would deny playing with Dolls by calling them action figures. I prefer girlie dolls myself and get a lot of enjoyment from them. Removeable chest plate? That seems silly, all girls are different and dolls should be too.
